becasue i almost missed it until a friend reminded me just b4 i submitted my return.

in case 1 forgot, don't worry, in most cases IRS would remember to give you the credit. if not, oyu can always file later, just don't be too late, no later than 3 years.

it started last year, as a way of tax relief for working people. last year the notice was very sharp so amny noticed, this time it's rather obscure (the line is jsut under tax withheld line)

as long as you have a valid job, download the form it's very easy to see you qualify or not. if not most likely it's beacuse you earn too much.

400 USD for single, 800 for married. it's quite some money.
